Whenever God means to make a man great, he always breaks him in pieces first.

Take up your own daily cross; it is the burden best suited for your shoulder, and will prove most effective to make you perfect in every good word and work to the glory of God.

When you think of what you are, and despair; think also of what He is, and take heart.

The shop, the barn, the scullery, and the smithy become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! The "divine service" is not a thing of a few hours and a few places, but all life becomes holiness unto the Lord, and every place and thing, as consecrated as the tabernacle and it's golden candlestick.

Let gratitude be awakened; let humility be deepened; let love be quickened.

FAITH untried may be true faith, but it is sure to be little faith, and it is likely to remain dwarfish so long as it is without trials.

When you desire to be most alive to God, you will generally find sin most alive to repel you.
